Washington – (AFP):
Donald Trump insists on excluding defeat to his rival Joe Biden … But if his expectations are disappointed on Tuesday and he is deprived of a second term, what will happen to the current president of the United States after he leaves the White House on January 20, 2021?
Donald Trump used to brag about his life before entering politics claiming that it was a “wonderful life”, but he is reluctant to comment on what the situation would be like if he is forced to retire from the field.
In light of the past four years, several scenarios can be imagined, but one: quietly withdrawing and staying out of the spotlight.
Back to the world of television?
If Trump is forced to leave the White House, he may be tempted to return to the world of television that was one of his flags in the United States.
Although he rose to fame as a real estate agent in the 1980s and 1990s, “The Apprentice” was Donald Trump’s key to entering the world of fame from his grand gate.
By participating in the production of his reality television show between 2004 and 2015, Trump managed to portray himself to millions of viewers as an experienced and charismatic businessman, despite fluctuations in the state of his real estate empire.
And in a large conference room in his “Trump Tower,” the real estate mogul used to receive subscribers; He excludes one of them in each episode, using a phrase that has become his ritual “Your Fired” (“You are fired”).
Since his arrival at the White House, Trump has repeatedly criticized “Fox News” position, saying he does not support it enough.
He wrote on Twitter a few months ago that viewers “want an alternative now. Me too.”
2021 may represent an opportunity to launch a new channel (although the initial investment may not be a useful factor in this), or to rely on existing “friendly” channels, including “One America News” and “NewsMax TV.”
Towards courts and prison?
The horizon may be bleak for Donald Trump if he is forced to leave the White House, as he is the focus of two investigations in New York, each of which may be the entry point for legal prosecution against him.
The first, a criminal investigation launched by Manhattan Attorney General Cyrus Vance, revolves around allegations of tax fraud, insurance fraud, and fraudulent accounting.
The second, a civil investigation launched by New York State Attorney Leticia James, seeks to confirm suspicions that the Trump Foundation is lying about the size of its assets to obtain loans and tax concessions.
Ambition renewed in 2024?
In theory, nothing prevents Donald Trump from running for president again in the upcoming 2024 election if he doesn’t qualify this year.
The United States Constitution prohibits any president from assuming power for more than two consecutive terms, but assuming the presidency for two non-consecutive terms remains a possibility in which only one man has triumphed to date, Grover Cleveland at the end of the XIX century.
Cleveland was elected to a first term in 1884 and defeated in the next election in 1888. He was reelected for a new presidential term in 1892. History books define him as the twenty-second president and also the twenty-fourth president of the United States.
In addition to the multiple political obstacles that prevent this hypothesis (especially from within the Republican Party, which may seek to turn the page to Trump), the issue of age can be an obstacle to it.
Grover Cleveland was 56 at the start of his second term, while Trump will turn 78 in 2024.
It is going away?
In his provocative or returning sarcastic tone, the 45th president of the United States has spoken in recent months of various “paths” he could take.
In June, Trump joked about taking road trips with his wife Melania.
“Maybe I’m going to New York for the first time on land with the first lady,” he said. “I think I will buy a motorhome and travel with the first lady.”
And in a less romantic context, Trump interrupted a rally he was holding in Pennsylvania a few days ago to see trucks parked in the distance.
He said, “Oh the beauty of these trucks! Do you think I could take one to go? I’d really like to, just drive and move on the roads.”
During a visit to The Fields, Florida’s largest retirement community, Trump spoke about a hypothesis that reflects a greater tendency to calm. “I’m moving to The Fields,” he said. “The idea is not bad, no, but it attracts me a lot.”
An even more radical hypothesis remains, the possibility of immigration.
Trump said weeks ago: “I will not be in a good position” in the event of a loss to Joe Biden, “sleeping”, as the president of the United States likes to describe. He added: “You may have to leave the country.”
